kationiresiinejä
Kationiresiinejä, known in English as cation exchange resins, are insoluble polymer matrices containing fixed anionic functional groups. These anionic groups are associated with mobile cations, which can be exchanged for other cations in a surrounding solution. This ion-exchange process is reversible and depends on factors such as the concentration of ions, the nature of the ions, and the chemical properties of the resin.
The primary application of cation exchange resins is in water softening. In this process, the resin is
Cation exchange resins are also utilized in various other industrial and laboratory processes. These include demineralization
